It doesn't really matter where I go (Heaven or Hell). I'll have plenty of friends in both places.

I like that kind of 'straight-faced' comedy. I like to be straight-faced and outrageous.

In episodic television you'll have a good guy who's on every week and that's his show! He's the regular on it, and you're not going to be "gooder" than he is; I mean, he's the guy who's got to solve your problem! So if you're playing a good guy, you have to have a problem, and he's going to solve it for you. And the only really strong dramatic part is the heavy, because the meaner and crueler and rottener you are, the better the good guy looks when he whips ya' at the end because he always is gonna whip ya! So, the best dramatic guest shot is the heavy.

The reason they call if 'golf' is that all the other 4 letter words were used up.

I played a lot of leaders, autocratic sorts; perhaps it was my Canadian accent.

Doing nothing is very tough to do because you never know when you're finished. The upside is that from the moment you wake up in the morning, you're on the job.

When you see Charlie Chaplin, he stays funny. He doesn't become drama, and so what really seems to endure is comedy.
